[BBC] You know those miniature engine models?
There are several companies making nice models of various scales. Some are already assembled, some aren't.
Why don't they make a rat motor? You can get a 327 fuelie, a 426 Hemi, a 427 cammer, a mouse, even a slant six, or flat head.
Why no L88 or ZL1?
Makes me mad.
I was at Harbor Freight this afternoon and saw some miniatures they had. They had a miniature engine hoist that I thought would be sweet to hang a L88 model from. I didn't buy it. Not 'til I can find the engine to hang from it.

When you mentioned the miniature V8's this was the first thing to pop into my head.

It would be hilarious to put one in a car.
I'd like to see the look on someones face when you pop the hood...
